Plum Gum and Other Chunk Poems

Plum Gum and Other Chunk Poems is an entertaining book of poetry written by a teacher for the purpose of building fluency in young readers.

Kids love to read the poems because they are funny and written for a childs sense of humor.

Teachers love the poems because each one is written to emphasize a specific phonics chunk.

Parents love the poems because their children become better readers.

Plum Gum and Other Chunk Poems is a must have book for every school library, every reading teacher, every parent who wants to help their child gain reading success, and every child who is discovering the joys of reading. The clever illustrations add to the enjoyment and make it the perfect book for young readers.

Adele Tolley Wilson has captured the sounds and images of language in a playful and entertaining new poetry collection--I have witnessed requests from whole classes of young children to read Plum Gum poems again and again . . .
